Are heroes chosen for their natural heroic characteristics or is their strength and wisdom gained over the course of their journeys? Maybe a bit of both, considering what happens in many of our favorite stories and films.
Prepare:
Read Summer of the Mariposas, chapters 3 and 4.
Find the video “The Hero’s Journey.”
Download the document: “Hero’s Journey Map.”
Download the document: “Stages of the Hero’s Journey with Definitions.”
Open up the documents, “Hero’s Journey Map” and “Stages of the Hero’s Journey with Definitions.”
Look at the picture of the Hero’s Journey on page 1 of the “Hero’s Journey Map.”
The hero’s journey (also called the monomyth) is a narrative pattern in many myths and stories from around the world. It describes a basic plot where the character must complete a journey and/or a mission in order to help the character’s society (group, family, etc.).
Review the definitions of each stage of the hero’s journey.
Try to match a familiar movie or book to these stages of the hero’s journey. Fantasy, myths, and fairytales are often good examples of hero’s journeys. For example:
Black Panther
The Lion King
Star Wars
The Hunger Games
Beauty and the Beast
Watch the video “The Hero’s Journey.” Why did McCall choose the hero’s journey structure for this novel?
Review what has happened in chapters 1–4. Use the questions below to help you write a description of the following stages of this hero’s journey. You can print the document “Hero’s Journey Map” and complete the work in the spaces provided, or create and illustrate your own Hero’s Journey map (on paper or web-based) to describe these stages:
The Ordinary World: If the setting described in the Prologue is a description of the ordinary world in Summer of the Mariposas, what is not right or does not feel right?
The Hero: Who is the hero in Summer of the Mariposas? You can choose more than one character. Use evidence to explain why you chose this person or people.
The Call to Adventure: Describe the moment when the hero is called to adventure in Summer of the Mariposas. What is the adventure? Does the hero try to refuse that call? What finally convinces the hero to accept?
The Mentor: Who is the mentor? Describe the mentor in Summer of the Mariposas. What wisdom and/or gifts does the mentor offer to the hero for the journey?
Keep your version of the Hero’s Journey map with you as you read additional chapters and try to match what happens in the book to parts of the hero’s journey structure.
Write for 10 minutes
Focus on one idea
Use and describe evidence to support your idea
Think of your own life as a hero’s journey. Who is one person that you might describe as a mentor in your own life? Describe this person and the important wisdom or tool they have given you that helps you on your hero’s journey.
